Duraji is the highest-rated of these seven and brings experience over today's trip, returning fresh after a 32-day break. His recent form reads modestly on paper, a third two starts back the best of it, and he remains without a win in his last five — but the figures make him the one to beat here.
AI verdict

SR 76 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Bahadur won three starts back and brings trip and going experience to this test, form strong enough to make him a leading threat. The blot is a modest fifth last time out, part of a string of finishes either side of that success that leaves the picture mixed.

SR 93 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Team Player is a leading danger, having won three and four starts back, building on a third five starts back before that. He has raced over today's trip and going before, though his only blot recently is a ninth last time out.
AI verdict

SR 99 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Ride The Thunder has been competitive of late — third two starts back, and second three back — and brings trip and going experience plus the boost of a yard in good form. The blot is a modest sixth last time out, and he remains without a win in his last five starts.
AI verdict

SR 96 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Shrimp Shady's finishing figures include two wins in his last six starts — two back, and four back — but a sixth last time out leaves him with plenty to prove near the foot of these ratings. He does have trip and going experience, so there is some hope of a bold showing despite the modest recent snapshot.

SR 99 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Baileys Khelstar arrives in good form, a winner last time out, and again two starts back, with only one finish outside the frame in his last six starts. He has trip and going experience, yet our figures rate him bottom of these seven — a tough profile to square, but that is where he sits on our book.

Almuhit was runner-up last time out, though that followed an eighth two starts back, and a sixth three starts back. A third five starts back shows ability remains, and he has trip and going experience — still without a win in his last five, a fair mid-pack sort.
AI verdict

SR 87 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Ride The Thunder
Confidence: Medium

Ride The Thunder (SR:96, 5/2) is the standout selection on the basis of a 21% market move in — the strongest steaming signal in the field — combined with Roger Varian's 18% career strike rate and Tom Marquand in the saddle. Carrying 9-5 gives him a 7lb advantage over top-weight Duraji and a meaningful edge over Team Player (9-8) and Bahadur (9-10), both of whom present their own concerns. The form string 442-36 shows consistent involvement and although DistFit is unknown at this trip, the class is unchanged (ClassMv:=) and a mark 5lb above last win (MarkMv:+5) is manageable at this SR level. Varian/Marquand routinely target handicaps with well-prepared horses when the market fires this strongly, and the 21% move from opening price is not noise — it is a firm stabling signal worth following. Each-way alternative: Shrimp Shady. Main danger: Shrimp Shady — Shrimp Shady (SR:99, 5/1) shares the top SR alongside Team Player but carries only 9-3 — 2lb less than Ride The Thunder — and has also been steamed in by 19%, with Andrew Balding's 19% strike rate and a recent form string of 441216 showing consistent progression and a last-time-out sixth that could mask a closer run than the number suggests.
